Programs

NOTE: ALL programs are conducted on a closed course at Tampa Bay Technical High School (click for map). This allows us to teach many skills that cannot be taught on open highways. ALL students MUST have a learner’s permit or operator’s license with 5 hours of “behind the wheel” practice prior to attending the basic or advanced driving class. Minimum class size is 12 students and maximum is 21 students.

Safe Driving…Every minute, Every day!
This is a 90 minute live PowerPoint presentation for both parents and teens. This class was designed to make the teen driving experience less stressful for both teens and parents by defining roles and responsibilities. Topics covered include how to begin to teach your teen skills behind the wheel, vehicle dynamics, how and why crashes occur and how to prevent them. Also included in this presentation is the effects of teens’ decision making on their driving, ego-based driving decisions, and effects of distractions.

This presentation is included with TSDA 102/104. Although it is optional, we feel it is an extremely important part of the learning/teaching experience for both the teen and parent. Everyone who has attended said it helped them with useful tips and suggestions, as well as the importance of this experience. Presentation dates are on the events calendar.

The class is also available free of charge to any group of 20 or more parent/teens. It will be conducted at your facility. This includes churches, businesses, schools, or community centers. Contact us at info@teenscenedriving.com or 813-541-2982 to schedule a date.
